I have used this software for about 4 weeks since posting my comment in reply to that review. Having now had a chance to use the software, I can only say that I am almost 100% satisfied with it. Some times, it's nice to have a spanish dictionary when after a few lessons, you still can't quite grasp the concept of the word you're being taught, but other than that...
Yes, it is repetitious. For those who want to learn another language, this is to be expected. No, it's not a magic pill.
However, in as little as three weeks I found myself largely able to understand what native speakers around me were talking about, even if my understanding of it was imperfect.
Repetition (as they say) is key, but even if it were not, dedication is absolutely required. You can only learn if you stick with the program, and even I have been rather lax about that much. Still, I am wholly satisfied with my purchase. It is clear to me that the program is only as good as its user though, and I really ought to be more dedicated to following it.

This is the most effective and all-around system that I have ever used. I took 7 years of spanish instruction in school and i didn't remember 6 1/2 years of it. This has been the best investment I have made in a very long time!

In my experience really learning a language requires a mix of learning approaches. That means books, tapes, tutoring, and experience in a country that uses it. I have done all of these and feel this product is well worth including in the mix. I highly reccomend it. If you're serious you need to just pony up the money and use it.

We ordered this program only two weeks before moving to Bogota, Columbia for a two year tour. However, the Spanish Rosetta Stone taught was much higher level than the survival Spanish we needed when we arrived. Overall we are learning the language and it is a GREAT program. Wish we would have bought it 3 or 4 months before departing.
Almost perfect! March 13, 2006

I don't understand why testing for each language exercise is not the default selection instead of having to select it. It is frustrating to go through an entire exercise hoping to see how well you did....and realize that you forgot to select "test" at the beginning. Also, it seems that testing should be available for the 'guided exercise' also ...... not just the regular exercises. Other than these two things, the program is very good.
